Untitled[edit]

"It is not clear if the name Rhymer was his actual surname or merely a soubriquet."

In the 13th century, aren't the two interchangable? Surnames were simply descriptions to distinguish between dozens of Thomases etc.

Weasel words...?[edit]

"After a number of years had passed Thomas is said to have returned[weasel words] to Fairyland, whence he has not yet returned." Surely that's simply the way folklore works -- nowt wrong with that. Unless anyone has any objections, I'm going to strip that weasel words tag out. Prof Wrong (talk) 11:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

His name[edit]

the spelling "Learmont" is incorrect, as it's a contraction of the original that only came to exist due to immigration and simplifying within the last 200 years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.101.97.213 (talk) 14:40, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No spelling is "incorrect" in this context. Spelling wasn't standardised eight hundred years ago. 80.189.154.182 (talk) 17:53, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
